PART 382--NONDISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF DISABILITY IN AIR TRAVEL--Table of Contents
 
                      Subpart A--General Provisions
 
Sec. 382.7  General prohibition of discrimination.

    (a) A carrier shall not, directly or through contractual, licensing, 
or other arrangements:
    (1) Discriminate against any otherwise qualified individual with a 
disability, by reason of such disability, in the provision of air 
transportation;
    (2) Require an individual with a disability to accept special 
services (including, but not limited to, preboarding) not requested by 
the passenger;
    (3) Exclude a qualified individual with a disability from or deny 
the person the benefit of any air transportation or related services 
that are available to other persons, even if there are separate or 
different services available for individuals with a disability except 
when specifically permitted by another section of this part; or,
    (4) Take any action adverse to an individual because of the 
individual's assertion, on his or her own behalf or through or behalf of 
others, of rights protected by this part or the Air Carrier Access Act.
    (b) If an indirect air carrier provides facilities or services for 
passengers that are covered for other carriers by sections Secs. 382.21-
382.55, the indirect air carrier shall do so in a manner consistent with 
those sections.
    (c) Carriers shall, in addition to meeting the other requirements of 
this part, modify policies, practices, and facilities as needed to 
ensure nondiscrimination, consistent with the standards of section 504 
of the Rehabilitation Act, as amended. Carriers are not required to make 
modifications that would constitute an undue burden or would 
fundamentally alter their program.
